He passed sanctions and kicked out Russians before there was any report at all!

You go ahead and live in your dream world, I will continue to deny ignorance and follow the truth.

Congress has been petitioning Obama to do that for the past 6 years! They're still not satisfied, and, not only do they want Trump to keep the
sanctions imposed by Obama, but want him to impose even stricter sanctions when he takes office!

Wait, what? They just hacked the elections but Congress knew 6 years ago? You do realize that we are talking about the elections being hacked,
right? This is what the big fuss is about.

So tell me, if they wanted them 6 years ago; why wait until he is walking out the door? Yeah that makes it even more fishy, not less.

You mean like Hillary's comment about the Palestine elections?

Hillary - "I do not think that we should have pushed for an election in Palestinian territories. I think that is a big mistake and if we were
going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win."

The beach I go to has a sign on the boardwalk.
Dogs must be on leash.
No dogs on the beach from May 15 to Sept 15.

So I'm there one day with some little ones I was babysitting and this man comes along with a dog.
I don't want to tell him what to do but one kid got scared because the dog was yipping and running into the water and he was upset. Sooo instead of
saying hey you're not allowed to have that dog on the beach I casually wander over bend down and pet the dog and say "Hey I saw the police ticket a
guy who had his dog on the beach last week"

He says "was it a big dog?"

I just said " It was a dog. " and walked away.

The rules apply to all dogs like the rules apply to all people.
I'm not ok if we interfere with elections in other countries and I'm not deluding myself into thinking that we're above such stuff.

I'm not really a punitive type. I didn't even spank my boys. (Though they spent a lot of days in my office where the video games and tv weren't )

I think that if a nation interferes with an election they should be called out and have the whole world made aware of their activities and have their
motives questioned before everyone.

But that isn't even what this is about.
What if they do get into our power grid?
What if they get into our military computers and disable our defense?
What if they release everyone's personal medical histories or credit information.

The need for this to be under scrutiny is enormous. Not just for elections.
Broaden your prospective just a bit.
